Schrader 2001 Beckstoffer Tokalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $75
Smells ripe, balanced, attractive. Rich cohesion of toasted oak, anise, blackberry, dust in the aroma. Rich, smooth, long, very ripe in blackberry fruit. More tannic than Provenance's bottling of the same vintage. Classic structure. 2006-2015.

Schrader 2002 Beckstoffer Tokalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Oakville)
- $75
Smells young, closed and dusty, with toast accenting cocoa and cherries. Very dry, tannic and earthy. Finishes astringent in tannins. Needs lots of time but should be a very good bottle by 2008.

Schrader 2006 Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)
- $125
Smells Porty, like chocolate-covered raisins, and turns rather heavy in the mouth, although very dry. Tastes roasted, with grilled blackberry and cedar flavors. This style is characteristic of the winery and often of this vineyard, on the east side of the Rutherford flatlands.

Schrader 2004 Double Diamond Beckstoffer Cabernet Sauvignon (Red Hills Lake County)
- $25
This Cab shows potential. It’s a big, ripe wine, with great flavors of black currant extract. But the sharp-elbowed, astringent tannins are unlikely to age out, and need refinement in future vintages.

Minty, green aroma. Herbal, with oak and modest blackberries. Well-made, elegant, but thin. Drink now.
